Hydnocystis is a genus of truffle-like fungi in the family Pyronemataceae. A number of species in this genus have been transferred to other genera, and as of 2017, only two are undisputedly a part of this genus, H. piligera and H. japonica. Stephensia is treated by some as a synonym of this genus.^[1]
